We like 10 see government buildings burn"
This answer set the Judge to thinking and
that same evening, while conversing over the
events of the day, he predicted just such out.
RACES as recently occur; led at Chicago and
elsewhere, unless the mob or unruly element
of society was placed under more restrictions.
Mayor Smith-A jury of their countrymen
gave these men fair trial and found them
its duty in the matter. When the anarchists
committed the crime was the time to punish
them, however, for the delays that have been
countenanced have only caused false SYM
pathy to be created for them. But they will
undoubtedly get their deserts now.
Col. P. NJ Cleary, of Chicago-District At.
torney Grinnell has immOrtalized himself in
his argument before the supreme court and
he will be the next governor of Illinois. A
most righteous decision is my definition Of
the verdict and the scoundrels will be hung
as sure as Chicago is a city.
Hon. P, H. Kelly-The supreme court by
its refusal to grant the writ finds that the
accused had fair trial. The laws of the
land must be sustained and maintained.
Col. A. +. Rockwell, Chief Quartermaster
Department of Dakota-I think mistake
was made Dy the supreme court in granting
the counsel for the condemned anarchists
hearing in the first place. 1t simply estab-
fishes precedent for sharp lawyers to carry
the cases OF murderers and other criminals
from all the states to the highest tribunal on
a plea Of informally in the findings by the
lower courts.
In other words it makes the United States
supreme court appear in the nature of
police court, and all other business would
have to be neglected if this precedent was
followed up, as criminal matters would fill
up the docket. The execution of these men
will be salutary lesson, and one that is
needed as a warning to offenders against our
laws.
Alderman Long-A week ago when was
in Chicago, there seemed to be no doubt III
the minds of the people that the supreme
fob tt,n t1rtS
dispatches indicate they have done. 1t is
just decision, and do not anticipate any re.
versal by Gov. .Oglesby,a as has been suggested.
Supt. Loader, in charge of the Pinkerton
Agency in St. PAUL am not sure that Gov.
OgIesby will refuse the appeals made to him
for commutation of sentence of two or
three of the anarchists, especially as petitions
for executive clemency have received a great
many signatures. 1t was not a surprise to
me that the United States supreme court has
made the decision not to interfere with the
case in any way, and in fact they had no
reason to do So
Comptroller Roche-The execution of the
anarchists win create a tremendous sensa-
ton throughout the country. The whole
land has been waiting with keen anxiety to
see what the supreme court would do. It
may be good thing and again it may not
It's very hard to forten just what effect it
will have.
Building Inspector Johnson-I am pleased
at the action of the supreme court in the an.

ton. I'm not spelling for gore either, and I
am glad that the case has gone through all
the courts the way it has. All the tribunals
of the land have heard them, and they can
not say that the law has not given them
every right or privilege vouchsafed by the
constitution.
j. C. Bayden-Its hard, but just. They
have had a fair trial, and the case has been
twice reviewed. No question can be made as
to the legality of anything. Let the law take
its course.
AS. Willoughby-Its just right They
well deserve all they will get
Mcpherson B. Williams-There is no help
for them now. They must take the conse.
Quences.
Charles James-rm glad of it. The anarch.
lists will now get what they deserve.
j.. M. Egan-Its a good thing. just what
might be expected.
Z. B. Wakeman-It is a just decision and
am glad the case was taken to the United
States supreme court.
j. S. observation-disclosures good Now let
them pay the penalty of their crimes.
S. L. Moore-That's just right.
